Zhao, J. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Wang, M. (author)Microscopic traffic flow models enable predictions of traffic operations, which allows traffic engineers to assess the efficiency and safety effects of roadway designs. Modeling vehicle trajectories inside intersections is challenging because there is an infinite number of possible paths in a two-dimensional space, and drivers can...journal article 2023

(author), Wagemaker, M. (author)Developing liquid electrolytes with higher kinetics and enhanced interphase stability is one of the key challenges for lithium batteries. However, the poor solubility of lithium salts in solvents sets constraints that compromises the electrolyte properties. Here, it is shown that introducing multiple salts to form a high-entropy solution,...journal article 2023

Wang, Xiaoda (author), Zhao, Yuqing (author), Han, Lumin (author), Li, Ling (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)Cylcohexanol is an essential bulk chemical that can be produced via cyclohexene hydration, a liquid-liquid two-phase reaction that is limited by the low reaction rate and the equilibrium conversion. Adding an appropriate solvent is the most promising method to break through these limitations. However, in previous works the solvent was almost...journal article 2023

Wang, Jianyong (author), Yang, Jun (author), Gong, Jishuang (author), Zhao, Chunrong (author), Hooman, K. (author)Supercritical flow through a horizontal pipe leads to a non-uniform peripheral wall temperature distribution even when the wall heat flux is kept constant and uniform. This is attributed to lower heat transfer coefficient at the top section where the denser fluid tends to sink. Hence, to obtain a uniform wall temperature, a designed wall...journal article 2022
